Short Communal Poems

Set out in an upper room,
passover made new;
tender slowly cooked lamb stew,
wine,unleavened bread
with thanksgiving said-
A hymn of
Praise !...

COMMUNAL SUPPER
Set out in an upper room,

A hymn of

lost ideals
from a time
of love & freedom

capitalist gains
replace
communal sustanence

military power
political prowess
individual rights
lost to the war...

peace
candle
sheer silence
meditation
cats are attracted
loving communal bliss
my imagination roams
open to possibilities
throwing away preconceived notions
words are totally unnecessary...

The monk parakeet, decked out in lime green,
In communal nests they can oft be seen.
To raise kids, they don't depend on granny.
Instead, they hire a helper or nanny....

proud communal standing of oak —
                                 leaves allot fresh air

Is all art connected,
the pain to set free

Blood flowing convergent,
to the delta unseen

All feelings communal,
the sharing divine

A grand celebration
—changing water to wine

It’s my obligation
To carry this weight
A communal station
I haul the freight

I tote it around
Day in and day out
It’s why I’m so down
Emotions are stout

Others don’t care
As they sprinkle their vibes
On empaths like me
Pretending to thrive...

Alone,
we are born;
in solitary
each day
we imagine
think,create
and live;
Alone
they say
we all die,
with our thoughts;
And yet
know this is not so;
yearning
to be joined
with another,
together,
communal
wedded,
as one
now..and then
at-one- ment...

state unleashed terror against muslims
such was delhi violence
why love india only?

as communal project
such was delhi violence
why love india only?

state turned into graveyard maker
killing muslims
such was delhi violence
why love india only?...

my thoughts are like willow trees
swaying and swooping, 
there is no oak bark
we drop no acorns or walnuts
the sky understands
he winks at us in a communal way

there is no conspiracy
just me and the world
the clouds are few 
giving me pause
I like clouds
we willows thrive in rain...

A welcome spot of rain 
Helps soothe our pain 
Why steal from the public purse?
Knowing you will reap a communal curse

Stop the export of vaccines from Sputnik
Allow importation of other brands to friends thick
Smile all the way to your own banks
Your punishment will come with no thanks...

Independently individualistic 
Burning man scorching communal display
Visionaries lifting sequenced dove mirages
A clapping happiness of quantum intrigue

Nature made creativity, man made himself
Stored through eternal feminine crystals
We are all that we've ever been
Consult your life, find it renewed...

If only genius could be contagious,
like chicken pox or flu

If only brilliance could be transferred,
like a bank draft overdue

If only insight could be replayed,
like a Mozart symphony

Then epiphany’s light would shine on all
—in communal rhapsody

(Ashbridge Pennsylvania: February, 2020)...

Wishing you contentment and peace this holiday.
Safety and health for all, I pray.
Some festive foods and display,
Gifts to receive and give away.

May this much enjoyment,
Outweigh concerns of the moment,
More gay times merely a postponement,
'Til communal singing and music are again a component....

The Malay Pantun:  The Non-Party Communal Triumvirate

Ursidae carnivora hug and hibernate
   Hypolais polyglottes trill without triumph
Alliance Party* wins and vituperate
   Opposition parties coagulate without lymph

•	The ruling Malaysian communal triumvirate – 
since Independence in 1957.

woman, hold this space and time
and keep it in thy special place
and make it matter, more than enough

the simple spaces where the laughter
ought to have been, and is
still stands within the heartloop
within the rythum dancings


and when communal grief, hits you again
be within it long enoug to count it

and then,

move on....

A poem relies on words
in a communal way
that a song need not
explicit languaged lyrics.

Great communion loves
rely on compassion's voice
in a polypathic way
beyond life's primal need
to share polyphonic feelings,
rhythm
patterns
tone
harmonic and dissonant
music,

Often silent
yet synergetic, 
fused,
unconfused,
amused
musing....

I give up in despair
The damage to repair
Second hand theories abound
Seeking to keep me safe and sound

The laws are changing fast
Communal activities now in the past
Quarantines and lockdowns they order
Virtually sealing the border

We must all get infected
Some practices we have rejected
Morphing into copy cats
While waiting to become laboratory rats...

MESSAGE LEFT

While you were out, the world came to an end
There was no cataclysm, no protesting cry
No final trumpet call to comprehend
But long exhaling breath, communal sigh

I tried to call: lines busy, no connection
I suppose I was not alone with a message, above
all other concerns and issues of every complexion:
this one universal assurance of unending love...

His face is ugly
as his creed,
rigid as his rituals,
and black as the dark ages,
with a Paleolithic look,
but he doesn’t realize.

His sneer is 
a reflection of bigotry. 
He slaughters smile 
for being tender. 
His frown is fathomless
as his fanaticism. 
There’s 
an imminent
communal carnage
behind his buffalo visage.

Owned by all
Yet trusted to one
For the benefit of all

Why then so scraggy
Like a road side beggar
Has he failed to make you baggy?

Because he hated our interest
Isn’t our motherland the trustee
Our birthright the interest

The kids he keeps selfishly
Thinking we were all blind
To see the specie all around
You are breaching our trust
Do not make us distrust...

Dearest Vicar –
Late came the regency bells;
The voice of your acolyte:
The mezzotinted voice of the verger
Rang at last for mass extrusion.

Dearest Vicar –
We all heard the fragile peels:
All the birds of riot 
Must disjoin in the new exodus
Of the new testament of single nests?

Dearest Vicar –
Confusion and uncertainty
Reigned in the hovel:
The restive communal nest....
